Start xboard and in the mode menu, select Machine black or Machine
white. Then you start playing depending on whether you are black or
white. Simple. Just note that the menu on xboard is a bit different.
Keep your mouse clicked on on the menu and release the mouse button on
the menu item you want to select.
